OkayC, you've been taking the words out of my mouth. I would see a post and you'd post exactly what I was thinking and was maybe about to say.
MP Mode has been the most played mode since 2K10, I believe. I don't know where this stuff comes from that this just happened in 2K14 NG. They don't force us to play the game mode, but the thing is, people want to play MP Mode. They just don't want the storyline aspect of it. They want it to be setup how it used to be.
Then guys saying go back to last gen is just....smh. Why would someone want to go back and play a game on inferior graphics, modes, gameplay and etc? And also to the people saying, "Player lock in association". While that's an option for some that doesn't care about shoe deals, magazines, being able to play on The Park/Crew and having the CPU make trades and etc and just want to play regular games and control the team, then it will be perfect. But a lot of people do not want that, they want career modes of old, just don't want a linear story.
I personally am willing to give a storyline a try since I skipped on 2K14 and interacting w/ teammates and see if it actually changes the story, but I don't agree w/ having to go undrafted and things like that. I want a more dynamic story as well and not a story everyone will have. I want to talk to a friend and we have completely different cutscenes a lot of times and outcomes.
